This gorgeous wedding at The Viewpoint Inn remains among my all-time favorites. I recall it as one of the prettiest weddings and also among the most loosely choreographed. The day simply unrolled in such a relaxed fashion. No stress, no rush. Nothing too elaborate or arranged. There’s probably a great wedding-planning lesson to be had...

color story: deep red
It’s dramatic and simple to design a wedding color scheme around a single hue. Dana and Joel chose a rich red for their decor and flowers for their late summer wedding at the Shogren House in Portland. Dana’s red satin shoes were a bright surprise under white full length dress. The bride’s bouquet and bridesmaid’s...
Mollie and Ryan at Garden Vineyards
A funny little secret about our work is that we fall a little bit in love with our clients as we photograph their weddings. Think about it, we are right there for these wonderfully emotional and epic moments. The excitement, the anticipation, the weepy happiness…and because we have to stay observant, we see and feel...
Rebecca and Matt at Skamania Lodge
Days like this one remind me why we love our work. Because weddings are often unpredictable, it’s a real pleasure for us when a day unfolds as perfectly as Rebecca and Matt’s did a couple of weekends ago. Besides being knock-out gorgeous, Rebecca was calm and lovely. Matt seemed excited but steady. For John and...
Vesna and Ratko at The Aerie

Nice weather, beautiful sunshine, gorgeous bride, handsome groom, agreeable families & friends, lovely venue. What more could a photographer ask for? It’s especially nice for John and I because each of our last...
Emily and Colin at Waverly Country Club
The raindrops that threatened the morning of Emily and Colin’s wedding only served to make the day more exciting. The morning was warm but overcast, so prudent thinking called for a beautiful white tent. What a lovely setting for this scrumptious wedding. Emily is graceful, lovely and gracious. Colin is warm, charming and handsome as...
More simple weddings: Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden
If I was getting married this summer (and didn’t have an unlimited budget) I would have a wedding just like the one pictured here. What I appreciated about this wedding was that it was both simple and elegant. It downplayed the formalities and instead emphasized the conviviality of the celebration. Jennifer’s dress and flowers were...
color story: purple & green
You would never know from looking at these photos that is was acually 105 degrees on Brian and Stephanie’s wedding day at the Waverly Golf Club. Everyone looks so fresh and unwilted. It’s a darn good thing there are not any pics of John and I, since we were both looking seriously wilted. The color...
